This one's for you, Thomas...

My blogging buddy, Thomas, has asked to see photos of all of the horrible weeds that I've allowed to take over my garden this spring. Not only does he wish to see those unsightly creatures - he LIKES them!

His favorite is the Dandelion...so today we will pay homage to Thomas' favorite flower/weed. I only wish I hadn't waited so long to photograph them. Most had already gone to seed.

Hard to see, but these are the few with remaining heads. I blew them for you, Thomas!

This big 'ol monster has been itching to be pulled for weeks!


It had many sisters in this bed...

I don't know what this thing is, but it's prickly and HUGE! It also reminds me of Dandelion, but it gives them a bad name...

Surprise, Thomas! Hope you got your Dandelion fix!!

Now for some other stuff:

The squirrels in my yard have to be some of the happiest in the world. I have 5, grand, old, pecan trees that drop into my yard. Fantastic for me AND the squirrels.

Each spring I have an abundance of baby peacan trees that the dear squirrels have "hidden". These are a few!

And, lastly.....

I thought to share the miniature "crop circle" that my dear little dog has left in my cat mint plant. Don't worry the big dog leaves his mark, too... His is just on the outside and involves a foul smell! Lovely doggies of mine!

**There were MANY more weed terrors in my yard, but they were just too embarassing to share, even among friends! **

By the way, Thomas and I already discussed that all flowers are weeds. Truly, I don't mind them all that much. I love spending time in the garden and weeding gives me an excellent reason to do that.

NOTE: All weeding in my yard is done by hand or weedeater (much to my dear hubby's delight!)

Actually, every time we go to the home improvement store he tries to get me to buy weed killer. That's a big "no, no" for me. It takes away from my fun and harms things that I don't want to kill.
